Many engineering applications rely on lubricated gaps where the hydrodynamic pressure distribution is influenced by cavitation phenomena and elastic deformations. To obtain details about the conditions within the lubricated gap, solvers are required that can model cavitation and elastic deformation effects efficiently when a large amount of discret...

... EHL-FBNS algorithm is repeated as long as r n EHLFBNS and in case of an imposed normal load force abs(r n F N ) are above the tolerance tol = 10 6 . The most important steps of the algorithm structure are also visualized in Figure 2. The initial guess is always a zero cavity fraction field and a pressure field at ambient pressure. ...

For transient mixed Elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) problems, a novel solution is required to predict friction loss and wear in sliding or rolling parts. However, existing solutions have numerous limitations. In general, the lower the oil film thickness is, the more serious the non-linear problem is. This paper presents an efficient solution t...
This paper, aiming at the water-exit process of the vehicle with cavitation, based on the moving domain method coupled with the SDOF (six degrees of freedom) solver, using VOF (volume of fluid) multiphase model and the Schnerr-Sauer cavitation model, carrying out numerical simulation research on multi-conditions. Comparing vertical launch vehicles...
